Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been a patient with Dr Key for several years and can say she is an excellent dentist. I had a tooth pulled yesterday . It was almost painless and quick. I highly recommend Dr Key.

Dr. Key and her staff are very friendly. A visit to the dentist was never pleasing to me. Here it's like you're visiting with family or friends.

I can't say enough about Dr. Key and her staff. They are wonderful people, very caring and efficient. I have been seeing Dr. Key for several years and I always feel well taken care of and that she really cares about her patients. On top of that, she is an excellent dentist. I recommend her to anyone, especially those that might have a fear of going to the dentist, like I did. She will make you feel totally at ease. 5 stars!

I am very pleased with Key and the staff! I was really nervous about my appointment, but everyone is so nice and welcoming. They all have a great sense of humor too which is huge plus during these stressful times! Would definitely recommend:)

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! I was in terrible pain and afraid, they fit me in the same day. Very kind and compassionate. The best wisdom tooth extraction I have ever had- She listened to me and made sure my fears and worries were addressed. Extremely helpful with insurance, billing and payment options. Very much a family practice and not a big corporation. I did not even need advil afterwards- AMAZING.

My son needed a root canal and crown. I didn't have the money to do it all in Dec. I asked that they do the root canal and build up in Dec and complete crown in Jan. They told me I had to do all work before the end of the year. They didn't care about my financial situation. I went to another clinic and when I asked to complete the rest of the work (fillings) at their clinic, they refused to serve us and told us to go back to the other clinic. Sad considering he has been going there for years!

My first time meeting with Dr. Key was excellent! I left a remarkable dentist in Texas and was terrified about having to find someone new. After an emergency nerve infection, I felt like I was blessed to have found Key. She uses humor to disarm any nervousness you may have and works hard to quickly build trust and rapport with you. She has a warm and very caring presence, but also business-minded. Her diagnoses are spot on, swift, and expert. I look forward to continuing my dental care with her

Dr. Key is excellent! I've been going to her for almost two years now, after years of being afraid of the dentist. She and her staff, Jen and Amber, made me feel very comfortable and provided great care. Dr. Key is very friendly and helpful in explaining each part of the procedure, and that really helped put me at ease. I can now say I actually enjoy going to the dentist.
